2016 JPRO Annual Conference

Strong networks and opportunities for career growth lead to higher levels of job satisfaction and career longevity. A conference that brings together participants from diverse professional practices in the North American Jewish community, at all levels, directly contributes to building a pipeline for future leadership. Participants have the opportunity to learn from role models, consider varying career paths, and meet colleagues doing similar work in different fields and localities. This is what a professional field looks like.
